Dang, Kirk! AOPA is coming back to Hartford next September. I was truly looikng forward to finally having that dinner we didn’t get to have when I was there three years ago. Now I’ll have to find some excuse to fly into Cincy!I’m not sure I ever told you how much I appreciated your mentoring lo, those many years ago in The Land Of The Three. I have no doubt you’ll find others to bring along at Local 12.Best of luck with the move.
